Measles cases are rising in London

Please make sure your child is up to date with their vaccinations and book an appointment at the surgery to catch up on missed doses. Two doses of the MMR vaccine can provide lifelong protection against measles.

Measles is more than just a rash. 1 in 5 children with measles will need hospital treatment. It can cause serious complications and in rare cases can be fatal. 

If you are unsure if you or your child are up to date with your vaccinations, please contact the practice.

Breast screening at St George’s Hospital

The South West London Breast Screening Service provides breast screening for women registered with a GP in the areas covered by Croydon, Kingston, Richmond, Twickenham, Sutton, Merton and Wandsworth. The aim of breast screening is to detect cancer at an early stage when treatment may often be simpler and more effective.

All women aged 50 to their 71st birthday registered with a South West London GP are invited to breast screening once every three years. Women 71 and over will stop receiving screening invitations but can still request breast screening by calling 020 3758 2024 to make an appointment.

Currently more than 210,000 women are invited for screening during each three-year screening cycle. South West London Breast Screening is coordinated from the Rose Centre at St George’s Hospital.
